Abstract

Personality traits of young adults play an important role in their stress tolerance, which may encounter their daily functioning. The present study investigated the relationship between personality traits, stress, dissociation, and sleep-related experiences. It was intended to find out the mediating role of stress between neuroticism personality trait and sleep-related experiences and the predicting role of dissociation on sleep-related experiences. A purposive and convenient sampling technique was used to collect as sample of 657 young adults including 312 male and 345 female within the age range of18-26. The Big Five Inventory (John et al.,1991), Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen et al., 1983), The Dissociative Experiences Scale–II (Carlson & Putnam, 1993), and Iowa Sleep Experiences Survey (Watson, 2001) were used to measure the study variables. Inter-Scale correlation showed significantly positive relationship between neuroticism stress whereas, significantly negative relationship between extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness personality traits. Regression analysis for mediation indicated that stress mediates the relationship between neuroticism personality trait and dissociation. While linear regression showed that dissociation significantly predicts sleep-related experiences among young adults. Thus, the present study helped in extending the research on the dimension of dissociation and sleep-related experiences among young adults.

年轻人的分离和睡眠相关经历:人格特质和压力的预测作用

年轻人的人格特征在他们的压力承受能力中起着重要作用，这可能会影响他们的日常功能。本研究调查了人格特质、压力、分离和睡眠相关经历之间的关系。本研究旨在探讨应激在神经质人格特质与睡眠相关体验之间的中介作用，以及分离对睡眠相关体验的预测作用。采用目的明确、方便快捷的抽样方法，对18-26岁的青壮年657人进行抽样调查，其中男性312人，女性345人。采用大五量表(John et al.，1991)、感知压力量表(Cohen et al.， 1983)、分离体验量表- ii (Carlson & Putnam, 1993)和爱荷华州睡眠体验调查(Watson, 2001)来测量研究变量。量表间相关分析显示，神经质压力与外向性、宜人性、尽责性、开放性呈显著负相关。回归分析表明，压力在神经质人格特质与分离之间起中介作用。而线性回归显示，分离显著地预测了年轻人的睡眠相关经历。因此，本研究有助于拓展青年睡眠相关经验与分离维度的研究。

期刊介绍： Pakistan Journal of Psychological Research (PJPR) is published biannually by the National Institute of Psychology, Quaid-i-Azam University, Pakistan. Its first issue was published in Summer, 1986. Since then two issues, one in summer and the other in winter, have been appearing every year. The Journal provides an outlet for fully documented researches addressing educational, social, developmental, and other areas of Psychology. Preference is given to empirical articles, which deal with the application of psychological knowledge in understanding the problems of national and international importance. The Journal welcomes contributions from all corners. However, participation from the developing countries is eagerly sought in view of its under-representation in research journals published in the West. The PJPR maintains an international editorial board of Consulting Editors belonging to different countries, with expertise in a large number of areas. It employs a double-blind reviewing process i.e., the authors are not identified to reviewers and reviewers are not made known to authors. The contents of PJPR are being abstracted by the Proquest, and in PsycInfo. PJPR is included in the List of Social Sciences Journals recognized by Higher Education Commission, Pakistan.
